A convenient reference for writers, students, and business people--anyone who needs the right word at the right time. Poetry, prose, and a nine-letter pizza toping . . . When you're looking for a word, pull it out of one of our Pockets.

Used or New - this is the one to buy

I had the opportunity to be a foreign exchange student in France from 1991-1992 and thankfully found this before I left. Not only is this a great dictionary but logistically you can actually take it with you. Many translation dictionaries are so big that taking with you while on vacation, a business trip or any other reason would not be possible because of it's size and weight but this fit into the pocket of my coat. It's a little too big to fit into the back pocket of your jeans but it's size is still small.

Overall this is a wonderful dictionary and one that I personally used extensively during my year and France and now use it again while trying to teach my daughters to speak french (the memory fades a bit after 13 years!)

Special Note: This is a new updated French/English English/French dictionary released in 2005. Previously the last update was in 1980 so be sure if you're shopping around to get the new version vs. the old version.

The best small English/French dictionary out there A+

I'm a college professor, and I both use this dictionary myself and highly encourage my students to buy it.

It is absolutely the BEST small French-English dictionary I've found, and has many features of larger dictionaries at a reasonable cost (it's also much longer lasting than plain paper back dictionaries, of which I"ve seen many ratty copies--missing 1/2 of the "a" section-- in my career). While some smaller dictionaries offer not much more than one-word definitions for terms (which lead to many mistranslations), Langenscheidt's offers numerous contextual examples that help students choose the correct word, and also shows many idiomatic expressions.

An A+!

(Note: Langenscheidt's offers many sizes of dictionaries. This review applies only to the one list-priced at $13 .95. Some of the smaller versions are as incomplete as other dictionaries).

Loaded, Compact, and Readable

I bought this dictionary for a recent trip to rural France where few people speak English. This dictionary is very portable and the font type is very readable. It was small enough to carry in a purse or a waist pack. It is divided into two parts: French-English and English-French. I found it very helpful in deciphering road signs, menus, touring sites, brochures, and conversations. I consulted it daily. It contained most of the words that I wanted to translate either in English or French. Now back home, I use it regularly instead of my big French dictionary when reading French news and magazines. It has additional information about basic verb conjugations and a list of conjugations of common verbs. I highly recommend it.
